How it Works
Buying a vehicle internationally shouldn't feel complicated. At Varta-Car Export, we keep the process clear from the first vehicle search to final shipment, with transparent pricing, documented transactions, and support throughout every stage.
How Vehicle Export from Canada Works
1. Tell Us What You're Looking For
Send us the make, model, year, specifications, budget, and destination country. You can choose from available vehicles or ask us to source a specific vehicle on your behalf.
2. We Search and Present Options
Our team searches the Canadian market for suitable vehicles based on your requirements. We provide available vehicle information, pricing, photos, condition details, and other relevant information so you can make an informed decision.
3. Approve the Vehicle & Quote
Once you select a vehicle, we prepare a clear quotation outlining the vehicle price and applicable sourcing, transportation, export, shipping, and other agreed costs.
4. Secure Your Vehicle
After the vehicle and quotation have been approved, a 10% deposit is required to move forward with the purchase and begin the next stage of the process.
5. Export & Delivery
We coordinate the required documentation, vehicle transportation, export preparation, and international shipping. You receive updates as your vehicle progresses through the process until it is dispatched to its destination.
-
Every vehicle is quoted individually. Your quotation may include the vehicle purchase price, sourcing or service fees, inland transportation, export documentation, port and shipping expenses, and any additional services you request.
Before you commit to the purchase, Varta-Car Export provides a clear breakdown of the expected costs so you understand what you are paying for. Our goal is to avoid hidden fees and unexpected charges.
-
Once you have selected a vehicle and approved the final quotation, a 10% deposit is required to secure the vehicle and proceed with the transaction.
The terms of the deposit, including any applicable cancellation or refund conditions, are clearly stated in the purchase agreement before payment is made.
-
For custom vehicle sourcing, a small search deposit may be required before we begin searching on your behalf.
This amount is credited toward the vehicle purchase if you proceed with one of the vehicles we find. If you do not select a vehicle, the search deposit is 100% refunded according to the agreed sourcing terms.
-
No. Varta-Car Export does not process vehicle purchases directly through the website.
Once your vehicle and quotation have been confirmed, you will receive the appropriate agreement, invoice, and payment instructions directly from our team.
-
Absolutely. Our website represents only a selection of vehicles and does not limit what we can source.
Tell us the make, model, year, trim, mileage, colour, features, and approximate budget you are looking for, and our team can search the Canadian market for suitable options.
-
Yes. We work with private buyers, businesses, and automotive professionals looking for individual vehicles or multiple-vehicle purchases.
Contact us with the quantity and type of vehicles you require and we can discuss a sourcing and shipping solution based on your needs.
-
The documentation provided depends on the vehicle, shipment, and destination country. Your package may include:
Vehicle ownership or title documentation, as applicable
Purchase agreement or commercial invoice
Export-related documentation
Bill of Lading or other shipping documents
Vehicle loading or shipment records
Insurance documentation when marine cargo insurance is selected
We will explain which documents apply to your particular transaction and when they will become available.
-
Yes. We coordinate the Canadian side of the vehicle export process and the documentation required for the shipment.
Commercial exports from Canada are subject to Canadian export-reporting rules, and applicable export declarations are completed as required for the transaction.
-
Tax treatment depends on the specific transaction and how the vehicle is purchased, delivered, and exported.
Certain qualifying exports may be eligible for zero-rated GST/HST treatment under Canadian tax rules. When applicable, this will be reflected clearly in your quotation and transaction documents.
Any import duties, VAT, registration fees, taxes, or other charges imposed by the destination country are separate and depend on local regulations.
-
Unless specifically included in your quotation, destination-country customs duties, taxes, registration fees, inspections, and similar import charges are not included in the vehicle price.
Import requirements vary significantly between countries, so we recommend confirming your country's requirements before purchasing. Our team can provide available shipping and vehicle documentation to help facilitate the import process.
-
Your vehicle is insured while under our responsibility until it is loaded into the shipping container.
For the international portion of transportation, clients may choose to purchase marine cargo insurance for additional protection while the vehicle is in transit.
We will explain the available insurance option before shipment so you can decide whether you would like to add it.
-
Yes. Transparency is an important part of our process.
We provide available photos, specifications, mileage, condition information, VIN-related information, and other relevant details before you approve the vehicle. Additional inspection options may also be discussed when required.
-
There is no single timeline because every shipment is different.
Timing can depend on:
How quickly the requested vehicle is located
Vehicle availability
Documentation and export processing
Inland transportation
Shipping schedules
Port availability
Destination
Customs processing
Once we know your vehicle and destination, we can provide a more realistic estimated timeline.
-
You won't be left wondering where your purchase stands.
Your Varta-Car Export representative will keep you informed as your vehicle progresses through the major stages of purchase, preparation, documentation, transportation, and shipment.
-
Varta-Car Export works with international customers and coordinates vehicle exports from Canada to destinations worldwide.
Shipping availability, vehicle eligibility, documentation requirements, and import regulations vary by country, so we confirm the available options for your destination before the transaction proceeds.
-
Varta-Car Export believes that trust should be verifiable.
We are an OMVIC-registered motor vehicle dealer in Ontario, and our business and dealer registration information is openly available to clients.
Ontario motor vehicle dealers are required to be registered with OMVIC, which administers and enforces the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. Clients can independently verify a dealer's registration through OMVIC's public dealer database.
-
International vehicle purchasing involves much more than simply finding a car.
Varta-Car Export brings together vehicle sourcing, transparent quotations, documented transactions, export coordination, international shipping support, and ongoing communication in one process.
Our objective is simple: make purchasing a vehicle from Canada clear, secure, and straightforward from the first inquiry to final shipment.
